Dimensionally it is pretty oversized and the dimensions on the handles to accommodate Dave's request needed to be close to .1250" under standard. On standard cork it would t have been as big of a deal.Snowmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17807460807031412732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072465054494499379.post-68053924125945426632013-11-05T21:31:44.266-05:002013-11-05T21:31:44.266-05:00I wonder what he meant about the blank being hard ...I wonder what he meant about the blank being hard to build on?btwdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00049659378709829412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072465054494499379.post-48213810621273549882013-11-04T21:25:25.740-05:002013-11-04T21:25:25.740-05:00This is a great article, thanks for getting it.

I am building on the same blank over the winter, and initially wanted to build with agates, but decided against it based on the fact they are just not that slick and thus unable to shoot line as well as alconite or similar materials. I sided with function over aesthetics. Reading this, and the appropriate sized waters, perhaps the function of this rod is better suited to casts not quite so long, and agate is back on the menu!Ryan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05044017281799943426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072465054494499379.post-67061872303321376712013-11-04T09:26:57.242-05:002013-11-04T09:26:57.242-05:00Morty, Once again inspiring others!
